i heart year round schools

i am FINALLY off track for a month! thank goodness!! i am so ready to sit around the house and do nothing for a few days. i have picked up a few sub jobs already, which is great because i could use some extra spending money. but nothing else big is planned for this break. jammies, couch, and movies are all that are on my agenda. yes, i know i sound like the laziest person ever; but teaching these little munchkins take A LOT out of you! i hope that the weather is pleasant for a few days...i would love to get some yard work done since our back yard looks like a stinkin' jungle. and we should be getting new blinds in a week or two, and after that i can put up the curtains. oh yea...and i told myself i would paint the bathroom! so maybe i will have a productive break. but for now, i'll enjoy the fact that i don't have to wake up early tomorrow. gee, tim is gonna love that when he has to get up and get ready for work. ;)

beamer's beloved teddy bear

so beamer has this little teddy bear that he is absolutely in love with. he plays with this stinky little bear all the time, and it is just the cutest thing when you catch him dragging the little bear along the floor by the ear. here is a picture of said bear.
beamer's best friend

this morning as tim and i were getting ready for work, we found the bear on our bathroom floor. we know that beamer plays with this bear like mad because we find it in odd places of the house when we come home. so...tim thought it would be funny to place the bear underneath a laundry basket to see if beamer would try to get it out while we were at work. i giggle as tim puts the bear in "jail", and beamer watches. then beamer just stares at his friend, helpless. he tries to paw at the bear through the gaps in the laundry basket, but no success. tim put bear in the dead center of the basket, and beamer's arms weren't long enough to get his friend.

so around 4:30 today when tim got home from work, he called me on my cell phone cracking up. he came home to find the laundry basket clear on the other side of the bathroom floor. bear was pulled out halfway through the handle opening of the laundry basket. i asked him to take pictures for me so i could see.

i just about died laughing when i saw these pictures! beamer REALLY did try to get him out. i thought he'd figure out a way to tip the basket over...but instead he scooted it around to get to his friend. at least he picked the largest opening to pull bear out, but bear just wouldn't budge. ;) beamer was quite elated when he had bear in his arms again. if i can get a picture of the two of them cuddling, you better believe it will get posted.
